Had a crash on a high wind winters day 20th June. MRI followed, lot of limping.
Nearly ran down Mark and catapulted when taking evasive action. I was completely in the wrong so glad he wasnt hurt. He said he could hear someone but had no idea where I was coming from. I was on fully powered up downwind run, forgot that everyone else who got that gust took off at around the same time. No equipment damage, landed on head on sail 😉
Left knee had two split cartilages and of course all the accumulated damage from years of sailing.
GP advised exercise therapy and time, 4 to 6 MONTHS off – been 3 and a bit now and for all normal use it feels fine. But still aching a bit sometimes and just “not right”
